Racing is still on this weekend for the interschools. Please be warned that only skiers between the ages of 5 and 70 are officially allowed to race in the open section, which is going to play havoc in some of our more popular categories. The most sad and limpest excuse to turn up so far is from Nat Anglem who claims a subluxed aura when it was clear to most people that it is simple demonic possession . JMA probably cant compete because Jeremy his pet Goldfish has been a bit wet behind the ears recently.
JP is back shopping in ChCh having won the award for the longest attendance of any anthropoid on a ski field in the southern Hemisphere without actually being buried there.
We say goodbye to Pavel and Chandra this weekend, apparently they were subjected to some Southern Hospitality last weekend and enjoyed some mud surfing on the 3 day circuit/ bog walk to and from Half moon bay which took them over 6 hrs the sad sloths. We thank them for coming and wish them the best for that sad and difficulty time between when the NZ Ski season finishes and the US ski season starts.
The snow is more perfect than ever, the live animal sacrifice is certainly paying off quite nicely though some of the snowboarders clothing tends to smell for a while. (Much less when it is covered in burning petrol) (And their language is not always the best) (Even when completely covered in burning petrol) (We might try avgas? )
On the political front we are still struggling to get FIS to recognise that all downhill skiers and snowboarders should be classed as adaptive or disabled on the grounds that they are apparently all incapable of getting up the simplest ski slope without a motorised lift.

Note that the Mini Merinos Pet Snow show section has decided to cancel the goldfish group till the weather goes above zero, so the Cat section will have to make alternative arrangement for their titbits.
Dog joke. What did the dog say when their Molotov cocktail ignited? “Wooof”
Dog of the week. Rover. (1999- 2010) (See above)
Astrology Section. Regrettably our resident astrologer is again down due to unforseen circumstances but luckily her locum is out of rehab *Scorpions should probably best do classic only this weekend Taurans should remember they are mostly full of it Sagittarians are all probably best euthanased Aquarians should be advised that wearing any ski suit the colour of hagfish mucus is probably undesirable particularly if its the same texture and smell (*Though the police are luckily closing in on her)
No entries for the cross country ski joke section were received this week.
Feeling ill during a cross-country bus trip, Mrs. Belzer went back to the rest room only to find that it was locked. Returning to her seat, she tried to fight the nausea, but it finally got the best of her; turning to her left, she threw up all over the Otago uni student who was sleeping in the seat next to her.
Stirring, the fellow woke and was (Suprisingly) surprised to find himself covered with vomit. Turning to him, Mrs. Belzer said, “Well-do you feel better now?”
Enquiry from one of our members do we know of anyone planning a trip to South Georgia ? Presume it is one of the ‘footsteps of Shackleton’ trips that need a lot of preparation ie you are not allowed to wash for 6 months prior and then end up bedding down in a Grave yard in Grytviken.
Weather Forecast: We are likely to have some weather both days of the weekend.
BARBECUE: likely on for weekend of 11/12. We have chosen a dozen oxen to bring up the DB Draft and will need a hand to slaughter them on site.
